In the past, that process could take ten years; Pfizer’s vaccine, which was developed in collaboration with BioNTech, a German biotechnology company, took a record ten months.<p>This seems terrifying to me, especially combined with the headline.<p>Perhaps the fact that the vaccines are "not available to everyone" is not such a bad thing.<p>Considering the risk the virus poses to young, physically fit people is extremely low should we really be pushing such a new and unproven medical procedure onto them?
